Lyrics

After days of running at breakneck speed, I arrived here
And opened the door that stood before me
Beyond this starry sky, I gather the footprints of dreams
Singing all the while!

The place those dream run off to...
Is still hidden within my heart
Casting a spell
To envelop the night... I begin my dance!

This colorful scenery is practically etched in my memory;
Stumbling a bit here and there won't break this spell— this world will continue on!
Embracing each fleeting moment that passes
I'll fix my eyes upon this shiny ray, and times unchanged
As I walk onward!

Brushing my cheek is a familiar, stirring wind;
I'm able to recall immediately all the places of my past
Seeing thousands of particles lifting into the night sky's embrace
I wonder if my feelings of longing have made it there as well...

To keep these prayers from shattering apart
I'll always be here, singing them aloud!

Even if the future I chased with all my might is an illusion...
I can never fly if I'm always looking down— I shout out to the sky!
Embracing the flower that's grown in this heart
Still unable to give it up
I'll step down a new path... and into a new future!

Let this voice, wishing into the distance
Ring out through a tear-studded sky!

This colorful scenery is practically etched in my memory;
Stumbling a bit here and there won't break this spell— this world will continue on!
Embracing each fleeting moment that passes
I'll fix my eyes upon this shiny ray, and times unchanged
As I walk onward!
